Hi, Here is an interesting blog post on the cost of DHIS 2, and Free and Open Source Software in general:
http://www.datadyne.org/2013/05/global-dev-where-free-means-expensive/ Not sure where he got the idea that a national, or any, HIS implementation can be free from, but I guess he has a point that it is important to be clear on what part is free. We can definitely be better at providing guidance on the implementation costing, although I don't think we have been trying to hide the fact that training thousands of users can be expensive. The freedom aspect of free software is of course not mentioned in his blog at all....
